Ring worm
Hi, a few years ago I got ring worm. Over the past few years I've used topical ointments to try and cure the problem. It will go away, only to come back with a vengeance. Now it's even came up on another spot on my body. How can I get this to permanently go away!! It's very uncomfortable and embarrassing as well.

You may be suffering from fungal infection of the inner thighs groin and buttocks area which we call tinea cruris. this is commonly referred as jock itch. It is easily treatable by taking 4 to 6 weeks of treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Wrong treatment with over the counter creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, betnovate dermikem OC candid B, hh zole leads to severe side effects and also repeated recurrences. please do not use super body wash over the affected areas. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consultation for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread for the on your body and also to other people living in the household.
